thanks to you both for quick reply ,i ordered a new one today 29.99 .Does the new come with the plug on it or did you have to solder the wires to plug?

I just went to radio shack, bought some white LED's and a single pack of Resisters, replaced them all and back going again!!!

My entire array went out about a month ago, so i rebuilt it.

You need:

(2) packs of white LED's (5mm High Brightness white) Pt #276-0017
(1) pack 470-Ohm 1/4 watt reisters (you'll use 2 of the 5) Pt #271-1317

Just make sure you solder the LED's in the correct way, they only work one way.

it comes with the plug, but it isnt attached. you run the wires thru the swingarm and snap the wires in after routing. piece of cake!

It is real easy. Just replace one LED at a time. Unsolder one, put the new on in. The only difference with the install are the resisters. The ones on the board are surface mount square resisters and the ones I mentioned above are not. But they solder in right in place of the others. 4 LED's and 2 resisters to replace.

If I get some time to pull my plate apart I'll shoot a couple pics today.
